What's your VIN Number?

Definitely some lower VIN numbers popping up ...
Seems like the "Canadian Requirements" versus the "USA version"
can be staggered through assembly in that the Canadian version
does not need to be "batched together" sort of speak ... cool to watch this unfold.
Can't wait to actually see one.

If I'm not mistaken, it is usually rare for Canada to get low VIN numbers from any model of vehicle. I imagine this is because GM always likes to fill the USA market with vehicles before they begin supplying Canada. It's probably different with the 2020 Corvette as the start of production was delayed so much and they had commitments to Canada to fulfil the H1 allocations.

Just my rambling thoughts.

For 2019, the earliest we saw at our dealership was #7725 for the Stingray/Grand Sport and #2507 for the Z06.

There is some evidence that GM may have held the first 25 VIN's for special uses or customers. #25 is going to be for the Museum raffle car. We all know about #1 and a certain Mr Leno and various YouTubers have numbers in between.

And then Kerbecks (biggest Corvette dealer anywhere) VINs start at #27.

Making #26 kind of interesting. (Even though I had no interest up till now).

Vin sequencing has reverted back. So 2020 vins will be unique.
The 1,2 and 3LT codes are back to the way they were pre 2020
2021 Vins have reverted the 5th digit back to alpha-numeric so to summarize.

So 1G1YB2D43L5101234 First four are always the same.
1st is Country of Origin: 1 = USA
2nd is Manufacturer: G = GM
3rd is Make of car: 1 = Chevrolet
4th is Car Line or Series: Y = Y-body series (Corvette)
5th is B = 1LT, D = 2LT, F=3LT
6th is 2 = coupe, 3 = HTC (Vert)
7th is always D (restraint system)
8th is engine type 4 = LT2
9th is the Check Digit. Use the Check Digit Calculator
10th is model year M = 2021
11th is 5 = Bowling Green
12th is 1 = customer, 0 = CTF
The rest is partial vin. (sequential)

So now I've seen all trim levels having a B as the 5th digit. It appears that GM is no longer putting the trim level in the vin.
5th is B = 1LT, 2LT or 3LT

it look like you're right again.. my 2LT also have a 'B' as the 5th digit, and I am unable to find insurance for that car yet.
